This one is only 12 scarabs, so it goes 1 for I, 3 for II, 5 for III, 8 for IV, 12 for V, 15 for VI, 18 for VII, and 25 for the final act.
This is just a worthless armor quest, the only thing I don't have is the final act's piece which can't be a normal slot cause all 7 are already taken up by the previous, so maybe a shield? hopefully its better than the other stuff

Xilla Beetlebinder in the Sinking Sands has asked me to help her gather materials to make her special chitin armor. The armor can only be made if the scarab carapaces are in pristine condition. Killing them in any normal fashion would result in damaged shells that would not work for the armor. Xilla however knows a trick to gathering undamaged carapaces. Xilla lent me one of her special bug zappers, and explained that there is a certain type of scarab southeast of the tarantula valley that are highly reactive to the shocks. I need to seek out these scarabs and herd them with the bug zapper into the tarantula valley. From there the spiders' poison should do the rest of the work.

Stage 1

I need to use the bug zapper Xilla lent me to frighten skittish scarabs into the tarantula valley. From there, the spiders' poison should do the rest of the work to obtain a pristine carapace.

Start:	Frighten 12 skittish scarabs into the tarantulas to obtain pristine carapaces.
Complete:	The tarantulas left me a pristine carapace.

I was able to fulfill Xilla's request to gather pristine scarab carapaces.

Stage 2

I need to return to Xilla Beetlebinder at Sandslide Passage in Sinking Sands.

Start:	Return to Xilla Beetlebinder.
Complete:	I returned to Xilla.

I returned to Xilla Beetlebinder and now have access to a new piece of her special gear.

I was able to fulfill Xilla's request to gather pristine scarab carapaces. I should now have access to one of her special items.

This is part of a series of quests from Xilla in The Sinking Sands. It is given by her after you complete the Beetle Herding - Act IV quest.

Basically this is the same quest as the past two, except that you must acquire 12 scarab shells.

Completing this quest opens Part VI of the quest.
